Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi, the Web site

Ross Mirkarimi put his stamp on the San Francisco Sheriff’s Web site some time last week — just in time for Mayor Ed Lee to announce it’s time for Mirkarimi to go. If you go to the site here you can see his photo.

That’s a change. For weeks after Mirkarimi was sworn in, the site listed the Sheriff as long-time predecessor, Mike Hennessey. Spokesperson Susan Fahey says the office has been working on an update for weeks, but there have been technical difficulties. No lie, at the new site some of the links don’t work.

The old site was interesting. I could pull it up on Mozilla Firefox only. If you are on Mozilla, you might be able to find it here. Hennessey was a history buff, Fahey noted, so the site featured a rogue’s gallery of “infamous” former inmates. “Notable Jailbirds” included a nude shot of porn star Marilyn Chambers (shielded by two Ivory Snow boxes), columnist Warren Hinckle and comedian Lenny Bruce. It is the rare Sheriffs’ Web site that, by including photos of Chambers, Hinckle and Bruce, treated incarceration as something that could happen to any adult with a naughty sense of fun. But then this is San Francisco.

Hennessey’s gallery also featured convicted City Hall killer Dan White and “nightstalker” Richard Ramirez. It wasn’t all for laughs.
